Biosimilar Reimbursement
Biosimilar reimbursement has evolved significantly since the launch of the first biosimilar in the
U.S.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has adjusted policy in order to ensure providers are not disadvantaged when utilizing
biosimilars.
- Each biosimilar has its own unique HCPCS code
- When the reimbursement rate is based on ASP, the 6% add-on for biosimilars is
based on the reference products' ASP
